The Cookery

We loved our experience with The Cookery for our wedding this fall! We original selected The Cookery because of the ambiance and the many different spaces it offers - and it was even better than expected when we saw each of the distinct spaces (the Garden, the Reception Hall, the Front Room, and Upstairs) come to life on our wedding day. The interior is moody, yet inviting and the exposed brick really shine in candlelight. More than the ambiance, our experience working with the staff at The Cookery and their preferred vendors was incredible. We would highly recommend The Cookery to anyone planning a wedding in the area. It was amazing!

The Cookery provided the perfect venue for our wedding celebration!! We really appreciated the opportunity to have four distinct spaces to flow through for different parts of the evening. We absolutely loved the Durham history that lives in many of the details throughout the building. The space is gorgeous on its own and doesn’t require much additional decoration. It provided a beautiful backdrop for our industrial-chic, fall wedding and we have received so many compliments about how unique the venue was. Furthermore, the staff at The Cookery was wonderful to work with. They were very communicative, flexible, and accommodating. We would absolutely recommend this venue for those looking to get married in Durham!

The Cookery was an incredible venue to have our wedding at! The space is beautiful and versatile - it was awesome to have indoor and outdoor spaces for our guests to spend time in. The planning process was super easy and we had plenty of options to choose from for catering (we went with Durham Catering Co.). Rentals were super easy as well with American Party Rentals. Juli was incredible to work with, and the staff the day of were so professional (shout out to the bartender who gave me straws for my champagne!). 11/10 for our experience here :)
